That's another one... Jira and FogBugz are better than any OSS tool I saw, such as redmine or bugzilla.

Hmm.Originally posted by russell View PostYeah, most of the free stuff is better than the paid for crap.
Windows and MacOSX are better than Linux
MSOffice is better than LibreOffice
Visual Studio is better than Eclipse (as is IntelliJ from 2nd hand info)
Photoshop is better than Gimp
Adobe Flash/Flex tools are WAY better than OSS versions
Perforce is supposed to be better than SVN (2nd hand again)
SQLServer & Oracle are better than MySQL
